Since 2010, Wilo has been the proud main sponsor of Team Germany Eight. This partnership is a continuous success story, driven by a shared pursuit of excellence and a passion for the element of water. Our collaboration is built on deep emotional ties and uniquely combines tradition with shared values.

We support the athletes not only in their sporting careers but also in their professional development. Through apprenticeships, internships, working student positions, and doctoral scholarships from the Wilo Foundation, we offer valuable opportunities for their post-sport careers.

In addition to Team Germany Eight, we also support the coxless four and coxless pair teams. Together, we have actively shaped recent championships and transformations, looking confidently to the future. Former rowers who are now part of our workforce contribute to a culture of high performance and strengthen our shared goals.

Hockey is one of Germany’s most successful team sports and a sport with growing global significance. As the global sustainability partner of the German Hockey Federation (DHB), Wilo supports the continued development of the sport and promotes sustainable initiatives both on and off the field.

The partnership reflects shared values: team spirit, international collaboration, and long-term thinking. Together, Wilo and the DHB are committed to strengthening hockey sustainably and increasing its global visibility. At the same time, the cooperation combines sporting success with social responsibility and an international perspective.

Alongside our global sponsorship initiatives, Wilo is deeply committed to numerous local sports sponsorships. Each Wilo subsidiary has the opportunity to support teams in its own region, resulting in a diverse pool of outstanding teams with whom we jointly contribute to sustainability.

Our local sponsorship partnerships include both small and large teams across various sports that share Wilo’s values. Notable examples are the Leicester Tigers rugby team from England and the Växjö Lakers ice hockey team from Sweden.
